nks Roger,

I am trying to do CPV values for my NI Fleet - so the formula I needed
was:

[NPV-TMF]+[(TMF-non-combat mass)x(TMF-non-combat mass)/100]

Thanks again

Peter W

Exponentiation.

In other words, just what you were doing here:

>The alternative formula (TMF - non-combat Mass) multiplied times (TMF -
non-combat Mass) then divided by 100 isn't any clearer.??To my mind, for
a ESU Ural DD,??this would mean a CPV of??(34-0)x(34-0)/100 = 11.56.
Given the CPV of the Ural is 95 I am clearly doing something wrong. 
That's just the cost for the hull, not for all the other stuff (drives,
weapons, and so on). You add that in just as you would when calculating
NPV; it's just the hull cost that you need to calculate differently in
this way. (Actually AFAIR some of the individual component costs have
changed as well - fighter bays for example - but that's right to a first
approximation.)
